Blue Sky Energy Charge
Controllers

Blue Sky Energy was the first company to
really pursue the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) market with their
line of Solar Boost charge controllers. Given the right conditions (low
battery voltage and cool ambient temperatures), these controllers can
increase your solar array's charging current by 30% or more as compared
to other conventional charge controllers. All of
the Solar Boost charge controllers are covered by a 5-year limited
warranty.

Blue Sky Energy created the Integrated Power Net™, or IPN Network, to
provide both a charge controller communication strategy as well as
create the next generation of Solar Boost MPPT charge controllers. The
advanced high speed digital network allows up to 8 IPN-capable charge
controllers to communicate with each other and operate as a single
machine. The IPN Network also allows networked controllers to share an
optional battery temperature sensor, and remote display. The IPN Network
does not require an additional controller, display or other special
communication hardware or software to operate.

The Solar Boost 2000E is a 12V, 25A MPPT charge controller
that is ideal for use in an RV or small cabin system. Its small size
(4.625" x 6.375" x 1.825") and its flush mount design
make it easy to install in an out-of-the-way spot. It has an LCD display
that toggles between battery voltage, array current and output (i.e.
boosted) current with the flick of a switch. It also has a manual
equalization function and a "charge status" LED that will
indicate what stage of the charging cycle it is in based on the sequence
of flashes. An optional battery temperature sensor is available along
with a wall mount box for installations where flush mounting is not
possible.

The Solar Boost 50 was the first high-capacity MPPT
charge controller developed by Blue Sky Energy. Blue Sky has since
developed the SB3048 to its impressive array of MPPT
controllers. These controllers feature a fully automatic 3-stage charge
control system, resulting in increased battery performance and an
increase in power production by up to 30%. The SB50 is a 12/24V,
50A PV system. It can charge a 12V battery bank from a 24V array,
keeping voltage drop and wiring costs down. The SB3048 is a
24/48V 50A PV system, with
the option of charging a 24V battery bank from a 48V array.

The Integrated Power Net™, or IPN Network, is a controller communication
system allowing up to 8 IPN-compatible controllers to operate as a
single unit. Models SB1524, SB2512, and SB3024
constitute Blue Sky Energy's current IPN offerings. See the price list
below for a description of all the Blue Sky Charge controllers and
accessories.
